"A million thanks for your help with our son. One month on your treatment protocol and he is engaging, aware, making signs and trying to communicate with us for the first time ever! All our behavioral and speech therapists have said that he's like a different child! Even if this is the only improvement we see, that's fine because his response has been amazing! Thank you again!"
